5. Old Stern wheel steamer

1 year ago by 🇨🇭 Mike Stoney
A little more in my workshopI received this boat as a gift from an estate, with the condition that it be reactivated and made navigable. Pooh. . .
Mister Chance brought light into the dark. It's the "Chaperon" from the factory Engel.
Let's see if I get details and plans, because I didn't get anything except the paddle steamer. .
But first bring my other boats back to life! Folks, there's a lot of work waiting for me.
The condition is not exactly good, plastic parts everywhere. . wait, because there will be construction here again.
A poet once said that ideas and thoughts are free. . .
Bye for now!
Your Michel-Claude
Addition 19.01.2023 😌🤔
While I am working on the cutter, I need the gluing and paint drying times for the gathering and drawing of the individual parts needed here.

Hello everyone,
Now it continues, with looking for ideas, organising, drawing, so that my buddy can make this for me with his big laser cutter. I will install the drive unit bolted together as a whole unit. Why? If there is a problem, 6x M4 screws are loosened and the whole machinery including the paddle wheel can be removed. Again another challenge. I have separated the upper removable part and because of the Denes steam units I will mount them permanently. This way there will be no tangled ropes when preparing for the trip. Needs a little time now. I am still waiting for my little laser cutter! 😡 . . Where are you . . . ? A Hello Fromm the CH, Michel-Cl.

Hello all
Unfortunately, some things go wrong today, parts and hull are worse off than expected . . . Someone sent me a cool saying: the one waits for the time to change, the other grabs it and acts! Who I am there is clear, right? Good craft time everyone, greetings Michel-Cl. PS: Captain Haddock is desperate, I am not! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Hello hobbyists!
Once again a defeat, various parts rotten ... But we are all stalwarts! I won't let it get me down! Don't worry, it will soon look different. Yours Michel-Cl. Ps: You can see in picture 3 the water steamer from the manufacturer Denes Design. Space I have enough for two

Well my dear hobbyists,
my model in the basement looked like this, only about and not exactly like this. So damp and planted my craft room is not! 🙈 Now the lower part is in my office and it is measured , drawn , ideas sought . . .from time to time I have to open the window to air my smoking brain . . . Work work work, see you later your Michel-Cl

Hello folks,
Start tonight, gather goods, arrange plans and copy. A lot of preparation for a clear process. . . Here is the first hurdle: The rear wheel. Enclosed are a few impressions of my start. The aluminium blade plates are not 100% correct, even with laser-cut parts you have to add something to the measurement, but even this is often not enough. In addition, I am still waiting for my laser plotter / cutter. It just doesn't want to come to me ... Wait and see. Hobbyist greetings Michel-Cl. PS: The 2nd photo is a pattern with a real rivet. This is how it should look in the end

Hello Hello!
The fishing boat Aline is ready and waiting to be launched. Now the time has come! Starting next week, this will be my building site for a few months. Now it's time to collect photos, repaint the hull, study plans etc. etc. Soon comments will appear here on this port dock. If anyone has any experience tips for this model, please write to me. Thanks in advance! Greetings from central Switzerland without snow (crap!) Michel-Cl. ▲

Hello Peejay!
Thank you very much for your tips. I already have contact with the webmaster who will help me! Wait and see what tips come in! Thanks again. Best regards Michel-Claude PS: In your link I found a lot of good photos that really help me. It doesn't always have to be 1: 1, a little imagination and your own ideas are simply part of it. ▲

Do a search on John Fryant Steamboat plans. The Chaperone was available through his Paddlewheels and Props catalog.
